Observing a Superpower Awakening
While waiting for the Laboratory to complete its relocation and debugging, Su Luo's thoughts turned to Dongli Cang once again.
To be honest, the moment Su Luo saw this person's file, she suspected that this guy was the "Protagonist".
After all, his life experiences and rise to power were too classic.
He appeared out of nowhere, possessed overwhelming strength, was surrounded by beautiful women, and had the aura of a savior.
But after hearing Wang Shouye's information, Su Luo felt even more strongly that this guy had a system and was using the system's abilities to package himself as the Protagonist.
The emergence of Superpower and Aberration Energy, two extraordinary systems that clearly do not belong to this world, coincides closely with the point in time when Dongli Cang's life trajectory deviated.
Using the system, they gained rights and sexual resources that they previously could only dream of, and then became addicted to it, which led to a decline in their Mind Nature.
However, this might also be a true reflection of how many people who obtain systems or other extraordinary abilities can act with impunity. Su Luo noted this down in her notebook for future reference.
Without the right Mind Nature to match one's abilities, being overly arrogant will inevitably lead to ruin.
Su Luo also speculated on several possibilities regarding its system.
Role-playing system: play the role of a savior; God-creating system: collect "faith"; Creator system: cultivate an extraordinary civilization...
Among these, Su Luo initially thought that the God-Making System was the most likely, after all, it could transmit electricity out of thin air, broadcast it globally, and forcibly modify local rules, all in an effort to create momentum for the host and collect "faith" or "attention" as a kind of energy.
But then I thought about it again.
Doesn't this involve population requirements?
Now, apart from the Great Yong Dynasty, where over 100 million people still live, almost everyone else has perished.
Why does he start live streaming?
It can't just be for showing off, right?
Su Luo was a little confused.
Putting aside Dongli Cang's problem for the time being, Su Luo took the opportunity to learn the [Appraisal] skill to perfection.
It's been a long time since I mentioned [Appraisal], and it's definitely not because someone forgot about it while writing.
In Su Luo's view, both [Appraisal] and [Gathering] are particularly special.
Su Luo was unaware of the blue skills, but among the green skills, [Appraisal] and [Gathering] were the only two whose expressive power through system usage was greater than that through self-learning.
Look at [Fireball], a skill that relies on the system's "one-click casting" is practically useless. Perhaps it needs to be used by someone of the corresponding class to unleash its true power.
The power Su Luo unleashed through self-taught skill was the normal level.
Unlike [Appraisal], even with her eyes wide open, Su Luo couldn't figure out all the Attributes and skills of a Level 5 Elite monster from a great distance.
However, the "one-click casting" of [Appraisal] is possible, which is clearly not right.
This only shows that the effectiveness of [Appraisal] depends heavily on the support of the system rules themselves, which may be a derivative of the system's functions or a certain characteristic.
The Skill Book records more of a knowledge system on how to interpret the information of all things more efficiently and accurately. Su Luo benefited greatly from it, and seeing objects with Divine Power was one of the benefits.
At this time, the Laboratory had been relocated and debugged. In the center of the huge underground space stood the most core Mana Conversion Device, and there was another one in the next area, which was in low-energy mode and used as a backup energy source.
There's another one in the area next door, reserved for the people of Great Yong to draw upon Mana.
The one next door, the one next door... that's it. Su Luo only built three in total.
With a simple operation on the door, the sign outside the area turned red, indicating that outsiders were prohibited from disturbing the area. Even the highest-ranking person in charge Di Yubing, couldn't open it.
He retrieved a live D-grade Mutated Beast, fixed it to the experimental table, and pre-set a Spell model around it for energy binding and environmental stabilization to prevent energy leakage during the experiment.
Just as Su Luo was about to insert her Mana, a series of urgent bell rings, Su Luo quickly stopped.
Pick up the special communicator; it's a special call.
"What's up?"
"Professor Su! In C3 Living Area, an unplanned Researcher has suddenly awakened Superpower! The awakening process has been ongoing for one minute!"
I'll be right there.
After saying that, Su Luo suddenly stood up.
Without taking the stairs or the elevator, the flames melted the thick metal layer, creating a hole just big enough for one person to pass through.
Su Luo transformed into a blurry black shadow, forcibly traversing through rocks and soil at an astonishing speed along a straight path, arriving at the scene in just over ten seconds.
The situation on the scene was somewhat... delicate.
The Awakened was a young Researcher who was slumped on the bed, his body convulsing uncontrollably, his muscles bulging, and his skin flushed red—clearly signs of awakening a physical enhancement-type Superpower.
Used tissues were scattered around, and the pants were only half-worn...
Wow, this is something else. Is this what extreme emotional stimulation is like?
He waved his hand, signaling the person in charge who was putting his pants on to walk away.
The airflow in the room changed abruptly, and a howling whirlwind swept up the blankets and sheets, wrapping them around the Awakened like flexible bandages, leaving only half of their head exposed. This served both to restrain them and prevent them from losing control.
Su Luo forward, gently touching the Researcher's burning forehead with her fingertips, and her powerful and pure Divine Power quickly probed into his spiritual world.
"Waaaaah... Waaaah!"
The Researcher's face was contorted in a grimace, his eyes bloodshot, and he whimpered like a trapped beast, but his body was firmly bound and his mouth was sealed, preventing him from causing any disturbance.
This shows that Su Luo's technology has improved again; the experimental subject did not fall into a coma.
Su Luo closed his eyes and focused all his attention on his mind. His Divine Power surged straight into the deepest Origin of the other's soul.
There was nothing there.
It seems we haven't arrived yet?
Su Luo immediately controlled her Divine Power to retreat a distance, hovering at a position neither too close nor too far from the outer edge of her soul's Origin.
This distance allows for a clear observation of the movements of the soul's Origin, as well as the detection of anything approaching from the outside.
In less than a minute, Su Luo saw a ball of light, constantly radiating energy, slowly drifting towards the deepest part of her soul. Her Divine Power quickly moved forward and hovered outside the ball of light.
At the same time, I also diverted my Divine Power to probe the physical condition of the experimental subject.
The form and process by which the light orb releases energy are highly consistent with how a mature Superpower displays their abilities.
However, the energy released automatically strengthens the test subject's body, and a small portion of it also strengthens the soul.
These energies are autonomously and efficiently transforming the host's body, strengthening muscle fibers, increasing bone density, Optimization nerve conduction, and even reaching deeper genetic levels, triggering subtle but crucial adjustments in expression.
The host's physical strength, cellular activity, and even life form are undergoing a rapid and thorough evolution.
Su Luo looked on with envy, not because of the rapid increase in strength, but because of the methods to increase strength.
A complete overhaul! Including the soul... even genes and life forms.
And the speed is so fast.
Based on the comparison before and after awakening, most Superpowers undergo this "transformation," indicating that this method of modification is universal.
It's somewhat similar to the [Body Modification] that Su Luo is currently learning, but much stronger.
If Su Luo can learn this method, her trip will definitely be worthwhile.
We need to find a way to obtain a Superpower Orb.
